UW-W scored seven times in the bottom of the first, on six hits, to settle the issue early. Catcher Rob Coe doubled in two runs, leftfielder Matt Beyer tripled in two, and center fielder Jordan Stine singled in two to provide the key hits in the inning.
Whitewater scored in every inning, tacking on three in the second, two in the third, five in the fourth, one in the fifth and four more in the sixth for their biggest run production since a 27-12 win over Salem State (MA) March 21 in Florida.
Among the hitting leaders for Whitewater in the doubleheader was leftfielder Matt Beyer. The sophomore from Janesville was 5 for 9 in the doubleheader including a home run (see photo), triple and 8 RBI.
“I was seeing the ball really well today,” Beyer told Voices Eye On Baseball following the doubleheader sweep. “I don’t know what exactly was but it was definitely the best I’ve seen the ball in a while.”
Beyer has split time in left field for much of April with sophomore, Tim Conroy. Beyer spent last year as the primary left fielder for a Warhawk team that went all the way to the championship game of the Division III Regional in Moline, Illinois.
“It was a little tough but I understand that I was in a little slump,” Beyer said. “Whenever you get the chance take advantage of it just like I did today.”
Beyer is hitting a solid .345 with four home runs and 32 RBI.
